For the third time in one year, Thomas Nast places himself at the center of one
of his own cartoons and another Harper's Weekly cover. With the election returns
disputed and no agreed upon winner in the presidential sweepstakes, the artist
sharpens his pencil for more sketching. He calms any fears his audience may have
by explaining (upper-left) that the current circumstances are far different from
those of 1860. A key distinguishing factor is President Ulysses S. Grant, who is
described as "a fixed pillar in the welter of uncertainty" and
compared favorably to the vacillating President James Buchanan (1857-1861).
Jefferson Davis' antebellum threat of disunion is in the trash can. There will
not be another civil war. |
